greek unemployment hits a grim new hawiye according to figures revealing a record level of eurozone joblessness after french economic woes drove a man to set himself on fire. the u.s. military wants those who carry out killings to take center stage by giving out accolades to soldiers operating american drones. and there's been no response from british police one week after a report revealed a shocking culture of neglect by hospital staff caused the deaths of hundreds of patients. from the new center here in moscow this is r t with the online on screen twenty four hours a day. one out of every four greeks including an overhaul of the country's young people are out of work that's according to the country's latest unemployment

figures with the jobless rate more than double the european average social analyst . doesn't see the country escaping its economic dire straits under current policies . our unemployment rate in greece guaranteed is twenty seven percent this rates of unemployment that europe has not seen since the nine hundred thirty s. and i think that more congress are also growing to follow in this path if we continue along the path chosen until now the european union and the international monetary fund namely that of austerity and even more wage scout's budget cuts we're just going to see more deterioration of the social situation in greece we are trapped inside it's a vicious circle on was staring. and recession and there's and with the karen pollitz is there is no way out and i think that this image of stability projected

by the european union or of the i.m.f. in the sense that ok greece is doing well it's it's it's not real in reality the euro zone has is it's officially in a recession. that the debt crisis is not going to be resolved through austerity measures they're projecting that we we will reach the levels of debt that we had when they announced that we were never very serious and dramatic debt situation so what's there's nothing positive no positive signs. meanwhile some of been driven to increasingly desperate measures due to the ongoing crisis across the continent and frenchman committed suicide by setting himself on find a job center in the city of norms the forty three year old had been refused unemployment benefits in a country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years what he says a city or has the details. it said it reports that he had actually set

a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after finding out that he he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this front so a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by midyear the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french

people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who had just burned himself and also those young people who had never registered or those who are in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still be in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in europe we hope it does not continue but we could see a lot more of expressions of dissatisfaction. the pentagon wants those fighting us wars from a far firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished warfare medal it will be handed out to joystick wielding drone pilots who wage their battles without setting foot in combat zones earlier. explain

to my colleague what it takes to get the award. so you're cygnus here you have a joystick and you point click and they get an award essentially that's all it takes to get it together and medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and warrants that award higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line and risk the extreme bloody violence there you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe a couple for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away. perhaps there is a there perhaps there's a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey

in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below this medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and the fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered in his squad held back numerous flanking attempts and curate enemy grenades and large caliber fire he was hailed for questionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award citation and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently does a lot less than what a person sitting at an army base and pointing a mouse and clicking on their territory somewhere in the middle east. stores are brought in stores which as you say have now been. the main awarded with those they must have been praised for some very heroic deeds. that you were talking about here yes the sergeant that was in question was actually doing something on the ground

right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about. out very questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations that practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite and via this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that one which was which they have been ruined by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that yes indeed at least at the best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from. the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all out of those killed only two percent

are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to rank higher than somebody who actually lay down his life in the line of duty. well there are no words for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching. the largest defense contractor in the u.s. developed software that can predict people's behavior by using social networks report on that in a few minutes. but first security is tight in libya ahead of the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled the gadhafi regime borders with tunisia and egypt will be shot for five days and some international airlines have suspended

flights to the country there are growing calls for protests and the threat of possible street violence blogger and libya expert on or massenet says authorities are scared and revolving western forces to defend themselves. they're afraid of a big big demonstrations like they did with not to listen. when not to was so there are saying to the people if you come out we would be hard with you they are taking people to the prisons airplanes are full eyeing on the you know war airplanes are flying off the air in t. believe people are being mean being mercenaries are coming from outside for the libyan government before i mean you know. the most important thing was no al qaeda idea and they were had big big controls for that never went inside leave yet and any time they have the idea there was one kind of people inside they were throwing

them away they were very hard with the al qaeda people in libya before and now it seems not to went in libya i that came in sight and they are controlling every thing france italy britain all this countries are in libya now and they are controlling the oil and they are and they are still courting the new regime now there is a lot of italian coming inside and they say for a few days ago there are many many boats big trucks army trucks going inside sleepily to their people saying they are coming from italy they are coming to to help to support you know to to leave and to this new government. and clashes marked the second anniversary of the uprising in bahrain the teenager was killed in protests two years after the unrest first broke out but pro-democracy demands are still being ignored. the picture of bad health still no action

following an independent report into hundreds of needless deaths in the u.k. hospital that's coming up after the break.

more news today volunteers once again fled. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. corp to rule the day. he continues here in r.t. a week after a shocking revelations of needless deaths in a british hospital there are still no signs of action the family and friends of hundreds of patients who died due to neglect of calling for criminal action to be taken against those responsible and the former chief of another hospital says he was paid half a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere r.t. sarah firth is been following the scandal. in the latest twist we see an n.h.s.

whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking into the scandal that happened in that stuff the hospital where it's thought more than a thousand patients kids have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment war and food stuffs a hospital in september of two cents tonight it's just a disaster people you know cheaply you know stuff they're looking for one of. those that was left and you're really. going to believe the shoes on the floor she been there since breakfast time before that so we're just trying to look stupid.

in the home to see ceased. to be she'd have to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims that government targets that he refused to meet the fear that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to quit and was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet of the whistleblower he spoke out gary hall could talk of a culture there and oppression and certainly it seems that a lot of these problems have been going on i think many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h.s. a political party no your political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in

the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal was revealed very much the rhetoric from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was it not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming east surprised at this no not surprised at this wild stuff the trip was particularly bad there have always been in the n.h.s. while most of the care has been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents and there have been for many years the real problem is that the n.h.s. and the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that have being from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because so the chief executive of the n.h.s. david nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he says that he has nothing to

be as saying the of and that during his time presiding this is down to systematic failures so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation and say by he has resisted that. we also keep you updated online with more stories and videos at our dot com in addition to what you see here on screen here's what's at the moment. real torture doesn't mean just physical pain find out on our website how arabic prisoners at guantanamo were driven out of their minds by the constant playing of heavy metal. plus canadian forces allegedly use their power against those they're meant to protect investigation claims some missing and abused indigenous girls and women were raped by mounted police more on that story on our website.

a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters in bahrain like libya the gulf state is marking two years since the start of its own uprising the demonstrators say their demands to end discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met london based bahraini activist dominic kavakeb says despite attempts to hold talks nothing has been done. we're looking at two years in which we've seen no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the uprising was killed and now two years later on the same day the fourteenth of february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displays the lack of reform the continuous human rights abuses the continuous repression taking place on the streets of bahrain it's good the dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that this latest latest escalation of the

security against the people is going to possibly put dine in jeopardy within the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue and there is not a great thing was continuing the violations on the streets people have come out on the streets time and time again saying that they they won't go out and they said do not go home until there's reform and i think the fact that they stayed out for two years clearly proves that so the only solution is through dialogue and i think it has to realize that. big brother may be watching every click you make on line the u.s. government is using new defense software able to predict your future behavior and locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily social networks claims of previously violations don't stick because he's got to check on reports. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon

a multinational for him based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and even predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program it's called it someone already branded it for spice just a few clicks and it creates diagrams charts maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to today and longitude details automatically embedded in them so this riot program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims

it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyber space that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician a spy software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and they're building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone roughly three hundred twenty million records

a day. over time that probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blow the whistle on this n.s.a. program seeing it as a blatant violation of the constitution but with this right software one can argue that they use the information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people try to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn up location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries some other stories from around the world the south korean experts say they failed to detect any signs of radiation after north korea's nuclear test so far analysis has failed to find evidence that any iranian based device was used that hasn't stopped south korea unveiling a cruise missile which it says is capable of hitting even the office of north

korea's leader three months ago the south reached a deal with washington to extend its ballistic missile range. one of the world's most celebrated sportsman oscar pistorius has been charged with murder after his girlfriend was shot dead at his home the man known as the blade runner made history last year after becoming the first double amputee to compete in the olympic games a south african is believed to have told police that he shot reeva steenkamp by accident thinking she was an intruder. the un has declared the situation in mali a humanitarian disaster with fears that french intervention could lead to further violence and ethnic reprisal killings and ignitions of atrocities of emerge following the rapid advance of french led forces across the vast northern areas of the war torn nation john has consulted one chair reports now for r.t. from the morning capital. so you got him money yes. i mean the united nations

already describes the situation in mali is a disaster the u.n. human rights commission says the country's caught in a spiral of violence fraught with grievous consequences the situation has been made worse in the wake of ferocious fighting in and around the city of northern mali following four days of fierce resistance from insurgents complete with suicide attacks the french military has been forced to conclude that some of the locals made an extremist. however some of the key areas in this conflict are still off limits to international journalists with the french army denying us passage saying it was for our own security the u.n. high commissioner for human rights not the palais made it plain in a recent statement that the situation in mali is only deteriorated following the foreign military intervention you know that the insurgency in mali is aggravated by ethnic clashes and the artsy camera crew witnessed instances of vegs accuses them brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survive. the military are not the

only ones and gauged in hunting down people of arab or quarry origin or believed to be part of the insurgency and even the locals are going after them as well and for some time it has been difficult to find people from either of those ethnic groups anywhere in mali this brings us back to the fact that more than three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced to flee from their homes because of the crisis the last straw for all those refugees and indeed for all of mali has been a statement by al qaida coming out of the arabian peninsula which calls upon every muslim to join the holy war against france a war that is being fought in mali against the will of its people. mali are they might have been have to take the moment with the news team with more interest in the hall for now from now in the meantime the gun control debate in america. that is in the cross has.

helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents in terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as a military helicopters participated in a multi-agency training for ill in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jesper county south

carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how that year old soviet union would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one thousand nine hundred four all made it a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also last time i checked afghanistan evil which is don't look like downtown miami just who are you training the kill anyways knock off the terror trainings but that's just my opinion.

a. bit. closer. and closer. and. the. my. i stand on guns in america is i'm i'm pro-life and. i don't think i'm political stand but i do.
